Unsupported OSs (Make sure MU is not presented)

Use majortest as of 8.20.2008 around 3:30pm PDT, add and modify the app.update.url.override in the browser preferences to point to aus2-staging as opposed to aus2

• Win98 (en-US) - Pass
  • Using majorupdate and aus2-staging on a vm did not offer updates. But it is not offering updates on aus2 either.
  • Using majortest and aus2-staging, added and modified app.update.url.override, no update offered. Changing back to aus2 an update was offered. This works.

• Mac 10.3.x - Pass
  • We needed to add the app.update.url.override pref, and set it to aus2-staging. After doing that, the major update was no longer offered for this OS.
  • 10.4.11 on a ppc machine was offered update, too, as it should.
